AGING SUCCESSFULLY 2014

SENIOR
COHOUSING
provides
a
neighborhood lifestyle that emphasizes independence
and community for proactive adults who refuse isolation or
even later institutionalization. By design, senior cohousing
gives people a choice between community and privacy, and
by intent, it makes it easier to live in a more emotionally,
physically, and socially supportive way.
These custom-built neighborhoods are designed to fit the
actual needs and aspirations of seniors in North America.
THIS WORKSHOP offers five days of handson learning combined with the logistics of cohousing
development with the world’s premiere experts in creating
cohousing. Led by three of the country’s cohousing
experts, Chuck Durrett, Jim Leach, Katie McCamant will
share their experience, tools, and invaluable coaching.
YOU SHOULD ATTEND
if you’re
excited about taking a leadership role in creating senior
cohousing. You might be a builder, developer, executive
of a senior living organization, individual who works with
older adults, government housing leader, or an individual
wanting to start a senior cohousing in your area.
After this workshop, you will be able to lead Study Group
1 Aging Successfully seminars in your area.

“I was certain I had Cohousing all figured out before I attended the 2013 Senior Cohousing Study Group 1 Workshop held in Nevada
City, CA... I immediately recognized my error the moment I walked onto the Nevada City Cohousing grounds and became absorbed into
“True Community.”
